It is impossible to summarise the Portes du Soleil region in a matter of words. Instead, discover it by yourself! On the slopes, savour the peace and quiet, admire the vast expanses of snow all around and take time to savour the fantastic views of Mont-Blanc. 14 resorts, 400 upland chalets, 207 ski lifts, 288 marked slopes, 243 Km of cross-country skiing tracks, 7 snowparks and 1082 instructors help you get the most of this vast territory.

Skiing

Forget about the usual struggle with gloves and all your ski equipment when you have to show your pass at the chair lifts. The new Hands Free pass sits safely in your pocket and automatically lets you onto the ski lifts. No worries and no danger of losing your pass.
The smart card can be topped up a thousand times - winter and summer alike - and each time you top up you earn loyalty points* to win a day's skiing at Les Portes du Soleil. The card costs 3€ and is advisable for passes of 3 days or more. It makes life easier for you and helps the environment since the same pass can be used from one season to the next.
(* except for full-season and concessionary passes).

CHILDREN AT FORE
Children are given privileged treatment in the ‘snow gardens' at the heart of the village and on the slopes. Nurseries are available to take care of the really little ones and specially designed playgrounds introduce junior skiers to all the joys of the slopes. The Grand Cry area is a unique itinerary where young skiers can have fun in a setting based on the theme of trappers and American Indians. Les Gets pays particular attention to the needs of children and strives constantly to respect the quality charter established by the Ski France association.
